My Take
What draws me to Vermeule is his refusal to play it safe inside the comfort of a Harvard chair. Being the Ralph S. Tyler Professor of Constitutional Law is a summit most scholars would coast on, yet he keeps lobbing arguments into the public square with his idea of common-good constitutionalism. I do not need to agree with his conclusions to respect the appetite for the fight. A born-in-Cambridge thinker who treats the law as a moral project rather than a neutral machine is, to me, exactly the kind of intellectual worth arguing with. Conviction like that ages well.
